Match Report

Author:  Phil McConnell

Date:  13 Mar 2023

On the night this was a 3 - 1 win for Newton Abbot, with Ben and I drawing but Cathy and Arthur losing.  However after the match, Trefor Thynne (Newton Abbot match captain) attempted to enter the result into the League Management System and discovered that the applicable rating for Douug Morton is 1874, not 1837 (the number which had erroneously been entered on the team sheet).  This meant that the Newton Abbot team rating was 6,814, which exceeds the limit of 6,799 set out in the competition rules.  Trefor immediately alerted Tony Tatam (Competition Secretary of the Torbay League), who awarded the match to South Hams with a 4-0 scoreline.


The rules are set out at https://www.torbaychessleague.com/docs/TCL_Competition_Rules_2022_23.pdf, and it seems that Tony had no discretion about doing this.  But it is a shame - I would not have wanted to win the match this way, especially as the result may well have a bearing on the Divison 2 title this season.
